Wakefield-based telecoms company NGC Networks has been appointed the UK's first partner for the distribution of a new mobile app called BLAP.
The BLAP mobile conference call App has recently been launched by developers VENNCOMM with NGC Networks acting as its Yorkshire distributor.
VENNCOMM also has a strategic global partnership with Salesforce.com
The new mobile App enables users to create instant or scheduled conference calls to any number of contacts in their smartphone. Call participants can be anywhere in the world and at the designated time their phones will all ring for the call.
No PIN is required, so calling a group is simple with no time wasted waiting for people to join the call. Call quality isn't compromised either as the App creates a genuinely mobile conference call - it doesn't use VOIP.
BLAP is free to download and users connect to calls using their contract bundled minutes on a local geographic phone number ensuring call costs are kept to a minimum - even for international group calls.
NGC Networks director Nikki Guest said: "BLAP is so easy to use and takes the headache out of the usual method of conference calling where everyone has to dial in, enter a pin number and then wait for all the participants to join in.
"The new App is particularly beneficial to people who take part in telephone conference calls on a regular basis."
